New records of mites (Acari: Spinturnicidae) associated with bats (Mammalia, Chiroptera) in two Brazilian biomes: Pantanal and Caatinga

Abstract: A first survey of mite species that ectoparasitize bats in the states of Ceará and Mato Grosso was conducted. The specimens of bats and their mites were collected in areas of the Caatinga and Pantanal biomes. A total of 450 spinturnicids representing two genera and ten species was collected from 15 bat species in the Private Reserve of the Natural Patrimony Serra das Almas, Ceará State, Northeast Brazil and 138 spinturnicids represented by two genera and four species were found in seven bats species collected … Show more

“…This region includes areas of semi-deciduous and cloud forests, and presents low rainfall and humidity regimes (COSTA et al, 2004). While ticks are associated with bats in other Brazilian biomes (LABRUNA & VENZAL 2009;LABRUNA et al, 2011;MUÑOZ-LEAL et al, 2016b), to date documented reports of ectoparasites on bats from the Caatinga Biome include only streblid flies (Diptera: Streblidae) (RIOS et al, 2008;BEZERRA et al, 2016) and spinturnicid mites (Acari: Spinturnicidae) (ALMEIDA et al, 2016). In this study we introduce the diversity of ticks parasitizing bats in the Caatinga biome, providing new records of hosts and localities for this understudied group of parasites.…”
